I've used one of the cute Tiddly Inks image called Happy Bee Birthday and coloured her with Copics. I did try to make her a fluffy coat (like bees have) but I'm not sure I sceeded - I should stop experimenting I think!! I set the image on the Simon Says Stamp Grid Die - I love the effect of this!!! I cut out and added a couple of Bees and a Tuesday Technique Favorite Memeories sentiment and tied with the Hemptique Black Twine.
This is a pretty simple card as I am moving this weekend have needed to pack the craft goodies I have here away.  I cannot get my internet connection until Thursday next week - eeeek!!! Six days without being able online - it's like an enforced detox!!

Of course they had to be Tilda and I coloured her with Copics.  I used the background with a Gelli plate which I had mad previously and fortunately was the perfect colour scheme. I intended to set it off side - ooops - not quite right - too late was the cry !!!!  I set the elements at an angle also which set the hope card look crooked.

Less is More................Anything Goes





I'v actually managed another Less is More card - mainly because I found all the bits in my box whilst p
acking them away. 
I had a few of Simon Says Stamp Fresh Daisies - I had made them for something and then lost them so I made some more, then found the previous ones and added them in my 'bit box'.  I had already made the Spellbinders Curved Borders which I decided to use coloured one - I add them all to a little Neenah Kraft Cardstock and added them with the Hemptique Variegated Earth twine.  The pearls are part of a Prima Pearl center and added them with the flowers.
This must be about the quickest card I have made for a long time!!!

Di's BIO:  {I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like-minded people.  I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue! }

Prize is a $12 Gift Voucher to Di's shop : Di's Digis Downloads 


little Candy from chall host teamie Tom 




Just a very quick post this week - I am moving at weekend and trying to get ahead as I will probable be without internet connection for a couple of day.
I embossed the background with Cuttlebug Geometric Rings and the glittered papers are from my lovely friend and team leader America.  The image is cute on a Spellginders Fleur De Lis pangdant and the leaves are Memory Box Fresh Foliage. I have take the centers of two flowers and added them as a center with Maya Road Vintage Paper Posies and a corner is Filigree Corner Die.

This card has been a pain in the neck!!!  I know exactly what I wanted to do but it decided it would to do it's one thing. I have so many March birthdays I thought I would make a start in making a collection. I used the beautiful Magnolia Zodiac Pisces and coloured Tilda with a combination of  Prisma colours, Polychromos and Copics.
The image decided it wanted a border - the Peg Stamps are in storage so I had to improvise and used Simon Says Clear Stamp Thinking of You with one of the flowers and a few of the leaves and coloured them - the flower center are used with the Judikins Sticky Stuff Embossing Powder and Hero Arts Sparkling Ultra Fine Glitter along with the Simon Stamps Die Sketchy Banner sentiment, which I forgot to list the link!!!
I actually liked the result of this card, despite of the fact it chose  
I have shown and link the Tilda and stamp below and I couldn't add them in the Inlinkz list.
